Summary
FCT remained resilient with strong financial position

     FCT portfolio remained resilient in 3Q21, while its financial position remained strong with gearing
     at 33.9%
     FCT’s portfolio operations remained steady with occupancy stable at 96.4% and only 8% of lease
     expiries (by GRI) remaining to be renewed in 4Q21
     Both shopper traffic and tenants’ sales during the April 2021 to June 2021 period were impacted
     by the implementation of Phase 2 (HA) measures
     The Manager will explore AEI opportunities within the portfolio for organic growth and look out for
     inorganic growth opportunities for FCT
